In Old Town, councillors approved a £240 bid from Treebourne to pay for seeds for a wildflower meadow being sown at Ocklynge School.

The devolved budget sees each ward has been given £3,000 to spend on quick fix one-off works or initiatives to improve the lives of residents within each of the nine council wards. The funding can also be used to support local events.
